WaterSilos The Ultimate Storage Solution

Existing Stormwater Infrastructure Storm drain conveys polluted stormwater runoff to receiving waters and the ocean! Violates NPDES permit Looses precious water Is unsustainable Leaves millions of acres of space below public ROW idle Storm Drain Idle Public ROW

Proposed Stormwater Infrastructure WaterSilos capture and store stormwater runoff for treatment and reuse Meets NPDES permit Stores and reuses precious water Is a smart sustainability move Makes best use of the idle space below public ROW Storm Drain Separator WaterSilo Diversion Valve Pipe

What is a WaterSilo? A vertical hollow shaft constructed underground using proven augur drilling technology Proven construction technology Does not require land Small footprint Rapid construction Diameters up to 30 ft and depths up to 200 ft Storage units of 10,000 to 200,000 gallons Unlimited system storage capacity

WaterSilo System Components Diversion Manhole Diverts the stormwater runoff at a design flow Hydrodynamic Separator Screens out the debris and suspended particles from the diverted stormwater

WaterSilos System Components Submersible Pump Pumps the stored water out for treatment and reuse Connection Pipe Connects consecutive WaterSilos to integrate the storage system

WaterSilos System Components Roadside/Median Bioswale Receives the stored water and treats it for reuse Roadside/Median Infiltration Trench Receives the stored water and infiltrates it for groundwater recharge

WaterSilos System Sizing 1.Calculate the total volume of storage required 2.Identify range of feasible WaterSilo diameters and depths per local constraints 3.Calculate water storage attainable per WaterSilo 4.Determine number of WaterSilos needed 5.Calculate available fill time and design diversion flow rate 6.Determine number of WaterSilos per diversion 7.Perform hydraulic calculations to size the diversion pipes, hydrodynamic separator, and WaterSilo connection pipe
